Hazards AreEverywhere

The fact it is, there are hundreds of everyday products that qualify as hazardous waste. And if they enter the waste stream improperly, it can be very dangerous to our health.

This isBad Stuff

Would you give your kids someone else’s pills? Or pour them a glass of paint, hair color, or furniture polish? If local businesses aren’t RCRA compliant, you might be doing just that.

Are they reallyHazardous?

You bet they are! And RCRA, a Federal Law, requires retailers to ensure that hazardous products are handled properly and safely. But are our local retailers being responsible? Good question.

RCRA Compliance isNot Optional

We need to do everything we can to make sure local retailers and business handle these products SAFELY and RESPONSIBLY, and comply with Federal Law.
